Do you want a flock camera beside your driveway?

I would not care because I can understand that is public.

Roy would love to have one in his house. He seems to like the surveillance. As for me, save that garbage for North Korea or China.

Not much different than my neighbor’s ring camera watching me come and go from a public space.

If you don't understand why then you do not get the concept.

Not guilty.


Hope they go to trial. Doubt a jury would convict them

You are cool with mass surveillance by the government on all citizens?

Ring cameras create their own, different privacy issues. You've given a company access to your wifi, which leaves your home vulnerable. I believe ring can give your camera footage to law enforcement without a warrant. And, who are we kidding, that ring camera is absolutely collecting data on its customers.

And what happens to the thieves after they are caught?

They are out in less than 24 hours to go out and do it again. Yet, you are giving up your privacy for it.

Tracking, logging, selling your movements is what flock is doing and has been caught doing.

When caught they distance themselves

You are naive.

Flock cameras aren’t “mass surveillance,” they’re automated license-plate readers that capture brief moments in time, not continuous tracking of citizens, and they don’t record people or behavior. Nobody is sitting around watching Red Eagle or Roy Curado's movements because (I hate to hurt your little feelings here) nobody cares about us. Flock requires explicit searches, every query is logged and audited, data automatically deletes after a short retention period, and agencies don’t have the staff or authority to monitor random individuals

Where do you idiots come up with this shite? Almost all of that info is false. I use the system daily and all it is used for is to take photos of license plates as they pass.

That deflock map shows a flock camera on some land I own along hwy 61. But, I went and walked the property the other day and didn't see one. Wonder if the local sheriff got heat for it. It was the only flock camera showing in our parish according to the map.

I think I'd get in trouble for fiddling with it since it would be in the servitude area of the property.

Exactly what a mass surveillance guy would say.

Flock cameras were used to track and apprehend the Brown shooter. Someone reported a suspicious car, turned out to be a rental. Tracked the car.

Well, shooter ditched the car.

No problem, Flock tracked the shooter through their AI tools based on "physical descriptors"

One side sees this as "Yeah, we caught a shooter" the other side sees this as Flock used other methods far outside a simple license plate reader. Methods that they will not reveal nor have to reveal.

It's the data points that track. It's one thing for a ring camera to film someone going by. It's another thing for it to collect every piece of data that you pay for and continually track it forever.
